A heavy wrought-iron gate was ripped from its moorings on a brick pillar near the football field at New Rochelle High School.

A security guard at the scene this morning said "We have a line on the person who did this".

The belief is that someone used chains hooked to the back of a vehicle were used to pull down the gates.

UPDATE: Several high school students are said to have been involved in the incident. According to knowledgeable sources, students in two cars tied chains to the gates, attached them to their vehicles and accelerated until the gates were pulled loose.

New Rochelle High School was forced earlier this week to close its library due to an inability to curtail repeated acts of vandalism at the school.

It was a brief interview with Bob Marrone on WVOX where Ms Rackman cordially spoke of things in her district and offered her thoughts on the decision that would saddle the city with millions of dollars of debt at a time when we can hardly afford it. Not that we can't afford it this year alone, we won't be able to afford it for many years to come.

In what can only be described as an incredible turn around, the new "One Station Plaza" in Mamaroneck, NY has risen from the ruins of what was the old Mamaroneck Train Station and been transformed into a stylish, hip bistro with professional, loft-type office space above.
